This updated revision offers total coverage of organic laboratory experiments and techniques focusing on modern laboratory instrumentation, a strong emphasis on lab safety, additional concentration on sequential reaction sequences, excellent pre - and post - lab exercises, and multistep experiments which maximize the number of manipulations students perform per lab period. The microscale approach is low in cost, offers ease of doing experiments and uses minimal amounts of chemicals. A number of experiments include instructions for scaling up.
